emotional complicationsâfrom expectationsâthere were none.
âDing, ding, ding.â He moved fast, stealing the next beat of her heart and the initiative. She was on the floor before she could gasp, while he was above her already. He was kneeling, with his hands on either side of her, and his eyes met hers, flashing the naughtiest smile sheâd ever seen.
He lifted one hand and toyed with the hem of her dress. âTimeâs up.â
She pressed her knees hard togetherâto stop herself from splaying her legs wide. But he knew because the wickedness in his expression sent the mercury soaring. And it seemed he liked a game as much as she.
âYou really think you can hold out?â he asked slyly.
âNo.â She parted her legs. This was too good to waste more time waiting for.
âMine to do with as I please.â He chuckledâsatisfiedâand undid the rest of the buttons with teasing, cavalier fingers.
âNo,â she argued huskily, writhing under his gentle caresses. âYouâre mine to please me.â
He inclined his head. âSame thing.â He spread her dress, bent and kissed her, his hands working first to remove her bra and then skimming up her thighs to her knickers. Slowly, too damn slowly, he tugged them down.
Seth watched her expression as he bared her body. Her eyes were luminousâpale green glittering in the thinnest of rings around huge black pupils. Her lips cherry red from desire, not lipstick. Satisfaction jolted at how urgent her need was. She intended to ravish him. His erection strained harder. He didnât think heâd ever met a woman so hungry. Deeply, beautifully hungry for pleasure. From him.
Her gaze devoured his body. Her hands stroked, she propped up on her elbows and licked his nipple, her tongue lashing stronger than he expected. The response in his blood was stronger than he expected, too. He burned, unsure he could stand the pressure of this, the hottest moment of his life. He pushed her back and she moaned when he ran his tongue from her navel to her breast. Yeah, it was his turn to taste.
Seth was used to women trying to impress him. He knew it was because of his bank balance more than anything, but women fluttered their lashes and pulled their best moves.And he appreciated it, he did. But the woman writhing beneath him now was in no way trying to impress. She was almost out of it with pleasure, her eyes blind with passion.
âLena,â he murmured, licking her from breast to breast with slow, teasing strokes, swirling around each taut peak. He liked that it was him rousing her this high, this intensely.
âMmm.â She was lost in sensation, unbelievably warm and responsive. Her hips rose, rotatingâno longer merely inviting, but demanding. And he was powerless to deny that demand. He couldnât deny himself. The need to taste her, to satisfy her, overwhelmed him. Yeah, ecstasy was all she wantedâand that was what he wanted, too, right? Nothing could give him greater pleasure this second.
He grinned as he kissed down her torso. Her breathless cries increasedâpace, volume, pitch as he neared her most sensitive part. He thanked the stars her desire had conquered her defences and sheâd given in to the electricity between them.
His focus sharpened as he spread her wide and tongued her soft and then deep. Her thighs shook, her fingers clenched, her screams hoarse. Yeah, he wanted this and more. He gripped her harder. Her uninhibited response was stunning and made him push her beyond it. He kissed deeper, stroked, teased, twistedâeverything and anything to make her convulse with ecstasy again and again.
When he finally rose to all fours, her eyes were closed but she had that smile on her face. He waited expectantly. Saw her shoulders lift just a little, and then it emerged. A couple of chuckles. Low and breathy but powerful enough to drive him crazy.
